Thwarted!
Hmmmmmmmm so I finished the shawl and had to decide on what to work on next. Consulting my WIP roundup with the knowledge that Colinette garment yarn was due any minute I decided upon Michelle's Mahrvelous Dahrlink socks. I kinda wanted to work on the top down [ha ha ha] but figured that if I managed to get the sleeve pick up correct I wouldn't remember how for the second with a project in between. Socks it was. I was about 20 rows short of toe shaping on first sock last Sunday night. Looksie where I was late last night:
Ummmmmmm thats the second sock~ I am not that slow. Do you see that? The kitchnering together toe stitches point and only a few inches of thread before a knot in yarn. A real bum f*ck. Well I spit spliced and can only hope this machine washable yarn holds cause I certainly lurv the socks:
Unfortunately the colors came out wrong. Super unfortunately cause I rudely mentioned to Gina that I loved the colors and asked if she could take the base and do a little sumthin sumthin for me. Oh yeah I am that rude but hey when you know a superior colorist and they offer to dye up some yarn for ya what are you gonna do? Oh there is one problem with the socks~ my gauge was looser than for my CTH and the sock a bit more roomy. I don't think there is enough leftover for me to go down a needle size next pair out of this particular yarn..... Wild Raspberry Bearfoot sock yarn by Mountain Colours BTW.
Ok so being aggravated by le knot I couldn't very well sleep so picked up Shetland Tea Time shawl aka the neverending knit of epic proportions. Thwarted again! Oh yeah I couldn't find my chart much less where I was on nowhere to be found chart. A trip to XRX corrections site and Thwarted yet again. The printer dies. Hmmm well it did print the page before the needed chart. I was up til 5 am staring at my screen and knitting.....
Living the vida loca and hoping you aren't~ yarny days and knitterly evening y'alls

A knot--how frustrating! I've not run into that with my Bearfoots (Bearfeet?) but probably will when I get around to making the Indian Corn sweater.
